Joe, Want to get some S-POPs? StorageNetworks, Inc. Triples Data Storage Services Capacity in Chicago Chicago businesses benefit from continuous availability of critical data and reduced operating costs without hassles of managing own data storage CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2000-- StorageNetworks, Inc., the leading provider of storage services for the e-Economy, today announced that it is making it easier for Chicago businesses to access data storage services--enabling local companies to ''plug into'' a data storage network as easily as they would subscribe to phone or electric utility services. Today the company opened a second StorageNetworks S-POP(SM) (Storage Point-of-Presence(SM)) data center in Chicago's business Loop, tripling the data storage services capacity available to Chicago's business community. The Chicago S-POP houses enterprise storage systems and tape libraries that let local businesses remotely store, access, manage and protect mission-critical data 24x7 -- increasing customer performance and security while eliminating downtime. Customers will be connected to the local S-POP via the StorageNetworks private, high-speed Global Data Storage(SM) Network (GDSN), which will also connect customers to the StorageNetworks Global Operations Center (GOC) located in Waltham, Massachusetts. ''Chicago businesses can efficiently and reliably access enterprise class data storage capacity and services at the StorageNetworks S-POP,'' said John Clavin, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development at StorageNetworks. ''This is especially important for fast-growing Web-based businesses that depend on continuous availability of online information. The S-POP frees organizations to grow their businesses and lower operating costs by eliminating infrastructure and technology concerns.'' StorageNetworks opened its first Chicago-area S-POP in Oak Brook, Ill. in August, 1999. The company's Chicago office opened in July, 1999 and currently employs more than 20 storage and technology professionals.
